Right click - add to iTunes library?

Is there anything out there that would allow me to just right click on a music folder, and send it to the iTunes library, without having to open iTunes?
If not, this would be a great, and (for me), welcome feature in a future version.
Thanks.

iTunes needs to be open (or get opened) in order for iTunes to access the iTunes database.

  • Right-click add to Playlist shortcut not working in iTunes 11.1

    Since upgrading to itunes 11.1 I find that the right-click> Add to Playlist option is not working. I go through the steps but the selected song is never in the playlist I selected. The only workaround I found is to Edit the Playlist and then drag and drop songs to the playlist. Selecting songs from another already existing playlist? Forgot about it!
    Is this a bug? Is there a setting somewhere I am missing? This is really annoying as this is how I built my playlists for years. Two days ago I spent a half hour right-click and adding to playlist only to find the list was empty after all my work. (And I really wouldn't have to be doing this if the stupid upgrade hadn't blown away all my playlists in the first place). Sigh.

    did you get this fixed? I have the same problem - thanks for saving my bacon though with the edit playlist tip
    Apple, please make this easier - it used to be dead simple with tunes on the right of the playlist lists and you'd drag, now, seeing playlists and songs at the same time is a pain, you have to use to edit option or the NOT WORKING right click method.  Is this fixed in a later version? I have v11.05 - I am fed up of keep upgrading at 80Mb a go and 20 minutes out of my life hence, I am not up to the most recent.  If it still is a problem with the latest, I'll have to wait til the next
    Thanks, Matt

  • HT1473 I click "add file to library" and then the song i want, but it doesn't come up

    Im really POed at the new iTunes on so many levels. first, the iCloud makes all songs i bought when i was 11 and deleted when i was 13 again. me and my little sister share the same account, but we have different computers so we don't have each other's song. now, thanks to iCloud, we do. i do not want carrie underwood or justin bieber, abd she doesn't want david bowie and led zeppelin. right now, the icloud isn't working, which is fine right now, but it's not right.
    ok, about "adding music and other content to iTunes." you used to be able to drag a file from your documents to your library and it would be copied onto it. i am under the impression that that isn't the case anymore. I've tried a billion times and it hasn't worked. even when im on the led zeppelin section of my library and i drag "over the hills and far away" it won't budge; there's still only 6 albums and 10 songs. so i clicked "add file to library" and then the song i want, but it doesn't come up. and i did this a zillion times with a bunch of different songs, and nothing.
    another problem is that the files are screwy. "houses of the holy" is on the album physical graffiti, not houses of the holy. if i edit the song's info to physical graffiti, all the other songs that are supposed to be on houses of the holy go into physical grafitti. when i go to song info, they still say houses of the holy. i just tried changing it again, and now all my led zeppeling albums are labeled houses of the holy. WHAT IS THIS MADNESS!?!?!?!?!
    #NewiTunesSucks

    Go to edit-preferences-advanced-
    uncheck 'keep itunes media folder organised'
    Then  make changes and see if itunes keeps the new info...
    But warning! if you allow iTunes to organise your files in the future  these change will be undone I believe.

  • I have a used imac and want to add my itunes library from my i pad

    Can i add my itunes library from my ipad to a used imac?

    It is best to add your music from your original computer that music came from. Copy the folder from your old computer to your new one and add the songs to iTunes.
    It is possible however to do it without your old computer. You will have to rely on 3rd party software like MusicRescue or Senuti. Many people frown on this method as it could easily lead to piracy (as so many other things can in this world...)

  • Right click add row

    Dear All,

    Thanks
    Rajkumar

    Hi
    First enable add and delete menus. Then catch the before menu click event and write your add and delete code.
    I have some problem with standard add and delete so i write custom function. I will give  you some code samples.
    <B1Listener(BoEventTypes.et_MENU_CLICK, True, New String() {"--your_form--"})> _
        Public Overridable Function OnBeforeMenuClick(ByVal pVal As MenuEvent) As Boolean
                Dim form As Form = B1Connections.theAppl.Forms.ActiveForm
                'GENERATED CODE
                If pVal.MenuUID = "1293" Then
                    form.Freeze(True)
                    DeleteMatrixRow(form) ' write your row delete logic in this function
                    form.Freeze(False)
                    Return False
                ElseIf pVal.MenuUID = "1292" Then
                    form.Freeze(True)
                    InsertMatrixRow(form) '' write your insert row  logic in this function
                    form.Freeze(False)
                    Return False
                End If
                Return True

  • How should i save a mp3 song so that i can add to itune library? i keep coping to library but its not showing up

    how to save mp3 song and then transfer to itune library? i keep coping to library but its not showing up

    Download it to your computer and make sure you know where the file is.
    Right-click the file, choose Properties and look at the General tab. Make sure the "Type of file" is "MPEG Layer 3 audio file" and that the "Size" is at least several MB.
    Are we good so far?
    If so, find your Automatically Add to iTunes folder (which is inside the iTunes Media folder) and drag your MP3 into it.

  • Right-click add track to playlist doesn't do anything

    About 90% of the time (iTunes 12) trying to add tracks to existing playlists via right-click doesn't do anything.  No error message, but the track just doesn't get added.  I think this mostly happens when adding multiple tracks at once, not sure.  Clicking on the little circle and adding to playlist that way, on the other hand, seems to work for the one track but ignores all the other tracks you have selected and only adds that one track.
    Is this a known bug?  Does it only happen to me?
    I have to resort to always selecting all the tracks I want to add, then choose 'create new playlist from selection'.  This always works. Then I have to copy (drag-and-drop) the entries from that new playlist to the playlist I actually wanted the tracks in, and then delete the new unnecessary playlist.  It's an unnecessary amount of work.

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings, disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
    If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
    *In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
    *In previous Firefox versions, click on the Firefox button at the top left of the Firefox window and click on ''Help'' (or click on ''Help'' in the Menu bar, if you don't have a Firefox button) then click on ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
    If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
    * On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".<br>
    [[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
    ''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''

  • Converting DVD's with SmartConverter to add to iTunes library

    I have unsuccesfully tried to add some of my own DVD's to my iTunes library.  After searching for solutions, I read that it could work if I used SmartConverter. I've downloaded the App and tried to drag a movie in the SmartConverter window.  However, everytime I try this it never works.  I don't know if I'm doing something wrong or if SmartConverter is the right App to do what I want.  I could use any suggestion to find a solution to this problem.  Thank you in advance...

    Most commercial DVDs are copy protected.  In the USA and many other places it is ilegal to circumvent the copy protection.  Yes, even for DVDs you own.  Sorry, powerful media companies getting laws passed.  If you own a DVD then some companies have a special site where you can download a computer friendly version (maybe just a Windows computer), or maybe not.  What they would love for you to do is have bought the movie once when it was on VHS, then go out an buy it again on DVD, then a third time on BluRay, then a fourth time for your computer!  Anyway, trying to convert a copy protected file won't work.
    Then too, it isn't clear to me from reading the Mac App Store's blurb on SC that it can do DVD format files (mpeg-2).  There's almost no details on what it does on the company's web site other than vague generalities such as "100s of media formats".

  • Update missing on servers - right click add-on

    Hello all,
    I remember I once stumbled upon a blog where someone wrote a console add-on where you could right click on update in All Software Updates view and select option to show hosts that require this update. It was done in PowerShell.
    In era of right click tools for SCCM 2012, I'm having hard time finding that gem. Does anyone know what I'm talking about and could share a link to the source?
    I would appreciate your help.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    There is a blog talking about a PowerShell script as well as a console extension that will allow you to see all machines that need an update based on the update you have selected.

  • HT1386 i have followed your instructions and still i cannot add my itunes library from laptop to iphone

    I have gone over these instructions numerous times and I still cannot add music from itunes library on my laptop to my iphone. What am I doing wrong?

    Is it on a NTFS drive?
    Mac can read but not write to NTFS, and it does not see all NTFS drives equally well.
    To write to NTFS I use and recommend Paragon Software $20 NTFS for Mac OS X.         
    Ideally move iTunes to a Mac HFSX format drive though.

  • The right-click add-on that would save pictures directly to folders

    I had this add-on that when you saw a picture you wanted to save you would open right click menu and you can save the picture to the folder you choose. I don't remember the name and don't know why i lost it but want to get it back.

    I don't understand what you mean. I am talking about "Save Image in Folder" add-on. It will show up in right click menu and you add the folders you want to send and save pictures to. I have found it and re-installed it but i keep getting "unknown. ext" . I am assuming that this is an issue with the new FF up dates recently installed. I had this add-on and after recent FF up-dates it disappeared . I have contacted the add-on developer concerning this issue. This is his home page >>> http://mozext.achimonline.de/
    Thanks for your advice

  • Can't add my itunes library to my new 30GB video iPod... help please

    I have had a 20GB ipod with itunes. I had 822 songs on that itunes library, and just today got an 30GB ipod video. I want the songs already in my library to go into my new ipod. How can I do that without putting all those cds back in and downloading everything again song-by-song?
    Thanks a bunch, If you need clarification, just post and ask.
    -ben

    If the songs are in iTunes on your computer then just connect your new iPod, it will by default automatically update from your iTunes library. If they are not in iTunes but are on your original iPod you'll need to get them back onto the hard drive and into iTunes.
    There is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive on Windows posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
    There are also a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the files from your iPod and return them to iTunes, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward.
    iPod Access Mac and Windows Versions
    YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
    PodUtil Mac and Windows Versions
    iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
    PodPlayer Windows Only
    PodPlus Windows Only
